Just when you finally
grab hold of that silver spoon

You see that you are left with
nothing but green stains on your fingers

(sigh) Desire gets you nowhere, for after you get what you want, you automatically desire another thing and that same cycle continues, and in educating the green is to teach the simple pleasures of life and how to seek nirvana! (big hugggssssss) This is a witty sentiment, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light alwyas shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ha! I never even thought of writing an epigram. This is not only true but short and sharp, just like it should be. Well done.
